history

The sources of medieval history remained unclear. Above all, confusion with Klein-Kreutz was possible, sometimes also called Wendisch-Kreutz. The Slavic name has been reinterpreted as cross by folk etymology . The alleged first documentary mention is 1275, when the margrave crucewiz sold the monastery Lehnin ; but this document referred to Wendisch-Kreutz ( slauicam Crucewitz ; 1300: Minor Crucewiz ). In 1300 Groß-Kreutz is mentioned as a church village: ecclesie ville nostre que maior crucewiz appellatur - the church of our village, which is called Groß-Kreutz.

Groß Kreutz manor house

In 1604 the imperial field marshal Wulf Dietrich von Hacke bought the estate. Today's manor house was built in 1765 in the Frederician Rococo style for Carl Gottfried von Hacke (1733–1801), whose coat of arms is in the keystone cartouche above the door arch. He was the last inheritance gift of the Kurmark from the red line (the Hake zu Berge ) of his family, which had died out with him, and was the landlord of Gross Kreutz, Hackenhausen, Blinsdorf and Mittelbusch. According to Hans Kania, the mansion is a creation by the architect Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs based on the model of Sanssouci Palace , which he was involved in building as a Knobelsdorff employee . The park side is divided into nine axes, while the courtyard side has eleven axes with the same central projection. He attributes the wall decorations to Carl Friedrich Fechhelm and the painting of the garden room to the Pesne student Bernhard Rode , who both also worked for Frederick the Great. It is therefore "a jewel of the Frederician era that we no longer have any other". The estate with the little castle was inherited from 1801 to 1875 by the von Arnstedt family and then passed to the von der Marwitz auf Friedersdorf family , who owned it until 1945. Two grandchildren of the last owner Bodo von der Marwitz-Friedersdorf (1893–1982), Borries and Donat von Müller, were able to buy back the manor house, the farm, the park and around 70 hectares of meadow land from the trust establishment in 1994.

Administrative history

Groß Kreutz and its current districts have belonged to the Zauch-Belzig district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg since 1817 . In 1952, Groß Kreutz, Bochow, Krielow and Schmergow were incorporated into the Potsdam-Land district , Deetz, Götz, Jeserig and Schenkenberg were incorporated into the Brandenburg-Land district in the GDR district of Potsdam . Since 1993 all places have been in the Brandenburg district of Potsdam-Mittelmark.

Today's (large) community was created on October 26, 2003, at that time still as Groß Kreutz / Emster, through the amalgamation of the communities of Bochow, Deetz, Groß Kreutz, Krielow and Schmergow of the Groß Kreutz office and the communities of Götz, Jeserig and Schenkenberg of the Emster-Havel office . On July 1, 2004, the name was changed to Groß Kreutz (Havel) .

The federal motorway 2 runs about 8 kilometers south of Groß Kreutz , via which Groß Kreutz can be reached at the Lehnin junction .

The state road L 86 between Ketzin and Lehnin crosses the community in a north-south direction.

Rail transport

The Götz and Groß Kreutz stations are on the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line and are served by the RE 1 Magdeburg – Berlin – Frankfurt (Oder) regional express line .

In the past, the 12-kilometer, standard-gauge Lehniner small train ran from Lehnin to Groß Kreutz station to connect the town to the main Berlin – Genthin – Magdeburg line. Passenger traffic was discontinued on December 19, 1965 and freight traffic on October 9, 1967. The track system was dismantled.
